Smoking is a harmful habit and makes one addicted once they start doing it. however, what are the reasons why people still continue to smoke? These people know the harmful and if long term, even life threatening effects of smoking but it seems nobody heeds the warning. < br />
The number of teenagers smoking today has increased tremendously (surprisingly). Their parents do their best to stop them from starting the habit, however, most of them are unsuccessful. Teenagers experience a feeling of isolation (isolated ). Once they start smoking, they soon love the feeling of contentment it brings them. Thus, they continue doing it. Peer (peer) pressure is also a great factor to this. A teenager would like to belong to a group. Being alone and no friends when you are a teenager is hard. Usually, they would smoke and drink overnight. Teenagers feel that if they won join the group, they would lose their friends and will be left alone in which they don want to happen. This is the reason why they continue smoking to be accepted by them. Later in life when they finally decide to stop, it becomes hard as they are already addicted to it.
There are also some people who smoke because of the nature of their jobs. Those who work in a very cold area or at sea, smoke to keep their bodies warm. At this time, smoking brings them good benefits. Call center agents and those who work at night love drinking their favorite cup of coffee and smoking at the same time while waiting for their shift (shift) at work. However, they don consider the long term ill effects of smoking. Smoking is addictive.

Smokers are also those who are experiencing feelings of depression. They find it hard to face the challenges life brings most especially if their problems are too hard to handle. They feel that what can make them feel better is by smoking and drinking.

Since 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti (graffiti)-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals (wall paintings) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope.” Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (the community). When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets,” “Love and Care,” and “Peace Walk.”
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals.
“The making of a mural enters people collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

Having one of those days-or weeks-when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood (mood) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster- often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who in a bad mood has low energy and high tension . Taking a fast ten – minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we e had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic (pessimistic) messages you e been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don have a job . “vs” I have two interviews next week. “)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (imagine ), all of which sound complicated (complex) but aren . One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a list to-do. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you e not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won improve your mood TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate (stimulate) your mind-something that the TV show “Neighbors” won do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine (caffeine) contribute to depressed (depressed) moods. The better choice?

Beijing — China sent up a new data relay satellite (data relay satellite), Tianlian I -02, on July 11. 2011 at the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in South-western Sichuan province. The new satellite will promote the country satellite communication network for space docking (docking).
The satellite was launched on a Long-March-SC carrier rocket at 11:41 pm, sources at the centre told Xinhua News Agency. The satellite separated from the rocket 26 minutes after its launch and was then successfully delivered into a geostationary transfer orbit (geosynchronous transfer orbit).
Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite is the country second data relay satellite. The first, Tianlian I -01, was launched on April 25.2008.
The two satellites will form a network to improve communications between China spacecraft and bases on Earth, according to the centre. They will also be used to help the nation first space docking, scheduled for the second half of this year.

About 21,000 young people in 17 American States don attend classes in school buildings. Instead, they receive their elementary (primary) and high school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools,” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
< br /> The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well. < br />
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computers ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular.
For example, a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephones or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.
Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber ??Charter school recently met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.
72. What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?
A. They have to take long bus rides to school.
B. They study at home rather than in classrooms.
C. They receive money from traditional public schools.
D. They do well in traditional school programs.
73. What is a problem with cyberschools? A. Their equipment costs a lot of money.B. They get little support from the state governmentC. It is hard to know students progress in learning.D. The students find it hard to make friends. 74. Cyberschools are getting popular because A. they are less expensive for studentsB. their students can work at their own speedC. their graduates are more successful in societyD. they serve students in a wider age range 75.We can infer that the author of the text is _________.A.unprejudiced (unbiased) in his description of cryberschools.
B. excited about the future of cryberschools
C. doubtful about the quality of cryberschools < br />
D. disappointed at the development of cryberschools.

Grow your own tomatoes, beans, and potatoes at home. Radishes and rhubarb are among the easiest vegetables to grow. For more information on home gardening, see this article about how growing your own greens can save you money.
Shop only for all that you need (and not when you e hungry-you l buy more) to prepare the meals you have in mind. Exception: Buy during sales, and prepare dishes you can freeze.
